中文摘要：

石漠化是目前岩溶学领域最突出的环境问题和研究热点。我国近年来不但系统调查研究了西南岩溶石漠化的分布现状和趋势，分析了石漠化形成的自然因素和人为原因，对石漠化环境质量从生态、水资源、土壤、土地生产力和灾害情况等方面进行了评价，还探索了不同环境下石漠化综合治理模式和方法。今后一段时期内石漠化的主要研究方向是深化石漠化的形成过程研究，揭示石漠化与水土资源的相关性，探索石漠化区生态恢复技术及水土地资源合理利用途径，开展石漠化综合治理工程的效益评价。

英文摘要：

Rocky desertification is a key environmental problem and hot research focus in karst area. In recent years, karst experts have not only investigated the distributions and developing tendency of rocky desertification in southwest China with remote technology, but also analyzed the causes from natural factors and human impact. Furthermore, the environmental quantity in view of the ecosystem, water resources, soil, land productivity and leading disasters have been evaluated, and comprehensive modes and methods to treat rocky desertification have been put forward. The future researches of rock resertification should deepen the forming process, open the coupling relationship between rocky desertification and water and soil resources, search for techniques in rehabilitation of ecosystem and reasonable way of water and soil resources use, and carry out evaluation to the effects of rocky desertification treatment in a comprehensive way.
